...................."Last year the top climate scientist at NASA, James Hansen, reported that his bosses were trying to censor his lectures, papers and web postings. He was told by public relations officials at the agency that there would be “dire consequences” if he continued to call for rapid reductions in greenhouse gases(12)..........

Tim Hunkin's inventions, under the pier at Southwold. I keep trying to go there but not quite making it. Maybe you'll have better luck. Go to Ipswich and turn right.

Download books on to your Blackberry instead of using it to send email, 'browse' the 'web' or any of the other tedious business-related 'apps'. It'll still look like you're really really busy.
This is great if you should be doing something boring for someone else.
Man, I couldn't even read this, it looked so scary. But maybe you can? Maybe it has a happy ending?
Fascinating, horrifying, beautiful photography.
Put that important work aside. Slack off. Play this, it's great.
Well-written, urgent and frequently very funny. Featuring the now-legendary 'Crap Arrest of the Week'.
Bored? Read a magazine. No celebrity cellulite in this one, I'm afraid.
If only. People are beginning to question the idea of filling our streets with fast-moving metal objects that smell bad and make those driving them behave worse.
Fill 'er up. While you're at it, check the dipstick thing.
